Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The Series P from Pico Electronics features isolated DC-DC converters with input voltages ranging from 18V to 380V. These converters are designed in a low-profile full brick size and include features such as trim capability, shutdown options, and multiple protections like input overvoltage, output short-circuit, output overvoltage, and over temperature. They incorporate an integrated side heat sink for improved thermal dissipation and support conduction cooling through the baseplate or an additional top-mounted heat sink.

  • Expanded operating temperature range available: -55°C to +85°C
Derating and Thermal Management
  • Thermal resistance varies with airflow and heat sink configuration
  • Derating graphs provided for models with different output power and efficiency levels
Performance and Efficiency
Models are categorized by maximum output power (100W, 125W, 150W) and output voltage (≤100V, ≤125V) with efficiency ratings at full load (85% to 88%). Graphs illustrate power output relative to ambient temperature under various cooling conditions (e.g., free air, heat sinks with different LFM ratings).
Typical Connection Circuit
The document provides a schematic for noise reduction and parallel shutdown configurations, highlighting the use of C1 filter capacitors for further noise reduction.
Mechanical Drawings
Detailed mechanical drawings are provided for single and dual output models, specifying pin functions and dimensions in inches and millimeters. Recommended torque for mounting screws is 6-9 inch-lbs.
Thermal Management
Heat sink specifications include material (alloy aluminum substrate), thermal conductivity, and coefficient of thermal expansion. The document details the assembly of heat sinks and thermal interfaces.
Warranty and Liability
Pico Electronics offers a one-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship, limited to repair or replacement. The warranty excludes liability for consequential damages or usage outside product specifications. Consultation is required for use in nuclear, radioactive, or space environments.
Packaging
The document describes tube packaging for power supplies, including dimensions and sealing details.
